Cover the bugs, observe the corridor and find nothing climbing, and there are no objects other than plants moving outside the building.

Go back to the room and check the door lock.

The lock has been broken, but the anti-theft chain and hasp are still usable, so fasten them. Use cloth handles and steel bars to wipe them before reading.

This is a bedside bookshelf. It has three levels above the bedside table. It is not full, with a total of less than forty books.

Flat printing cannot be seen with night vision, but the yin and yang rubbings are not among them. About half of the spines have concave or convex text.

Can't recognize a single word.

First find a dark spot, the toilet is good, move the books there, get some rags and pieces of rotten wood to use as fuel, and take out the lighter that has been gathering dust in the backpack.

This is a disposable lighter, the kind sold in supermarkets for 1 yuan or 2 yuan wholesale. I found it when I went out the next day after making the tinder.

It is said that the little butane in such cheap products should not last for so many years. A series of reasons such as aging of the sealing ring, degumming, embrittlement of the plastic shell, etc. will cause the butane to volatilize.

But the one in my hand still has a layer of a few millimeters thick. Perhaps it is a coincidence of precise assembly that occurred during production. The situation corresponds to defective products in general production, and there is always a certain proportion of products with better quality.

This is true for firearms and chips.

Anyway, no matter what the reason, it can be used, but it is not very easy to use. It needs to be heated with hands before it can be ignited. It probably won't last a few times.

Carefully put the fuel on the sink, making sure nothing falls on the book, and start a fire.

Take off your backpack and prepare to pack books.

In his previous life, he knew two languages, and could barely read books in the other two languages ​​with a dictionary, but now he has no use at all.

But it doesn't matter.

Look through the thickest one first and find the dictionary right away.

Confiscated, if you really can't find a suitable book later, you can only forcefully learn a new language.

Keep searching.

After flipping through the content a little, you will see the author's name and publishing institution on the first and last pages. Although you can't understand it, you can judge whether it is a person's name through the long and short formats, and take a look at the table of contents.

There is no need to read the works written by a single person, most of them are novels. Even if the catalog is more specific, it is probably some economics, philosophy, or something to brag about.

There is a long list of authors, and the table of contents takes up several pages or even more. It is a typical reference book. At this time, I mainly read the illustrations in the book. It is suspected that economics and sociology are unnecessary. The social foundation is gone and it can only be used as firewood until the population recovers.

It took me probably more than half an hour, and I refueled several times in the process, before I chose three books other than the dictionary. I had no choice but to read, after all.

The dictionary plus three reference books may weigh three kilograms, plus the equipment on my body and the trophies in the living room, the load is a bit heavy.

It must be sent to the base first.

The process went smoothly and I was not targeted by bugs again.

Return to the base and deliver the loot to the eighth floor, and the plug-in will arrive in your account.

Add points, [part enhancement → trunk → overall coordination 31].

Only adding a little bit means that each enhancement point only adds 0.5, which is the same as the [Extremities → Glycogen Reserve] that has already been added.

Maybe the area enhancements have to be halved?

It feels a little uncomfortable.

There was no time to think about this at the moment, so I put the books and trophies in different rooms, sorted them a little, and went out again.

Still going the same way, we reached the end of the alley.

Although he had just found a few books in the residential building, he had no intention of continuing to waste time in them.

Judging by logic, many people will evacuate for shelter in the first stage after the disaster, which will cause most residential doors to be locked. The actual situation is even worse. When the disaster occurs, it seems that there is a relatively orderly evacuation. Most doors are closed normally, and only

A small number of them were broken or the wooden door frames were rotten and fell down.

Now he can't break doors silently, and the physical attributes in front of him don't support climbing over walls and windows... Mainly because he has never practiced climbing, so he can only rely on basic attributes that are much higher than ordinary people to resist the risk of falling.

Most of the remaining rooms with open or broken doors have been searched.

Taking into account personal book collection tendencies, there will be very few people who own multilingual books. In addition to the high duplication rate of dictionaries, most book collections may only have one series of reference books.

In short, searching for books in residential areas cannot be efficient.

Exiting the alley, there is a road that has been converted from four lanes to three lanes.

There are many stores on both sides of the road, so I randomly chose a direction to check out the stores.

The density of bookstores is related to the overall hobbies of residents. Some cities may only have one or two small bookstores in addition to the municipal library. In the nearest alley next to the university, there may be a bookstore within ten steps.

Based on Wang Qi's current scope of activities, it is impossible to determine whether there is a university in the city and where it is.

North of the facade building on the three-lane street is the bungalow area, which is one-story and two-story single-family houses with wooden and brick structures. Compared with building residents, residents in the bungalow area have more space per person, which is more conducive to developing a hobby of collecting books.

.As a dividing line, this street will take care of the needs of two types of residents at the same time, and there is a high possibility of a bookstore.

As a result, he hadn't found the bookstore yet, and there were two other stores that aroused his interest.

Mobile phone stores and computer stores.

There are no mobile phones in the mobile phone store, but there are still many model phones through which some pre-disaster information can be obtained.

It can be seen from the model that flexible screen mobile phones have begun to popularize in this world before the disaster, and some flexible screen mobile phones can be rolled into wristbands.

Take a guess.

Both the battery and the battery interface require parts costs. The single hard module of this flexible screen wristband mobile phone is not large, and the battery is also very small. It is unlikely to use multiple split batteries. It should be continuously connected to a wireless charging device for long-term use.

Time for high brightness use.

The results are similar to the previous judgments on the technological level of mirror coatings. It is only slightly higher than the previous generation, but still within the understandable range.

Computer store.

Maybe it’s because desktop computers are too cumbersome. After all these years, there are still some motherboards, chips and other boxes in the store that haven’t been unpacked, and there are also a lot of empty cases. Maybe I can make a computer out of them.

It's just that there is no power now, so remember the location first.

Keep looking for bookstores.

As a result, the bookstore hasn’t been found yet, and when I approached the hunting spot three days ago, I was targeted by insects again!

A big headache.

I had no choice but to deal with it directly on the street.

The old routine is to induce the insect to attack first and then use the secret technique of "lazy donkey rolling", and then prick the insect for the first time, but misses the vital point, and then cuts off the whistle with pottery scissors.

Then enter the turn system, while trying to attack the vital points, and poke the abdomen from time to time.

After a few rounds, the insect's vitals are pierced, and the battle ends.

Looking at the trophies strung with wires in his hands, he really couldn't bear to go back like this. Almost every time he went out to search for books, he was forced to go home by the bug trophies.

After struggling for a while, I took off a piece of fat and threw it on the body to reduce the weight a little, and then see if there was a chance to pick it back up later.

You can't go east, otherwise you may encounter more bugs and turn back.

The conscience of heaven and earth, starting from the entrance of the alley, more than 100 meters to the west, I finally found the bookstore!

The shelves in the bookstore have collapsed, and most of the books piled on the floor have been eaten by insects, but there are also many that are relatively intact. Maybe the materials of some books are not suitable for insects.

The problem of light once again troubled the lighter. After all, it was almost reaching the limit of its lifespan. It took dozens of strokes before a little flame came out, and it was extinguished by the barely perceptible wind.

I ran out of energy if I tried again, so I had to put down the weight, go back to the sixth floor, look for sparks and brittle and fallen paper fragments from the wash basin, add rags as tinder, and return to the scene to start a fire.

Still the same, first look at the spine of the book to see if there are any words you recognize.

I actually saw my mother tongue!

I turned to the book cover and found a translation of a novel, so I threw it away.

I kept searching like I was looking for a needle in a haystack, and from time to time I went back to the street to see if there were any bugs. After three hours of searching, I found six books.

Only one of them is a mother-tongue book, "Culture and Civilization".

The other five books are all suspected to be useful reference books, and there is a huge one with nearly 2,000 pages in 16 pages. It is most likely an encyclopedia. This book weighs several kilograms.

The encyclopedia is too thick to fit into my bag, so I can only hold it in one hand.

The backpack is changed to a single shoulder. If you encounter bugs on the way back, throw the backpack, encyclopedia and loot on the ground before starting the fight. If you encounter a surprise attack, use the encyclopedia or backpack as a shield. Use the encyclopedia's thickness and hardcover to seal it. , only stronger than a real shield.

Think about how to deal with it on the way back before taking action.

This time my luck was not as good as last time. At the alleyway about 150 meters away from the base, a bug came from the east.

Fortunately, he moved carefully, and when he found the insect, the two sides were still more than 20 meters away, and he had time to put the load on the ground.

Exactly the same fighting method, paralyze the bug after a few rounds, cut off the thorn tail, completely kill it, and harvest.

New fat and wires were put on my legs and I was completely overweight.

The total weight of equipment, books, and trophies is close to forty kilograms.

Although it's not to the point where I can't move at all, in order to prevent accidents, I still put down the freshest fat and insect legs and get the ones on my body back first.

Without going upstairs, I put the book directly in the stairwell and hurried back to get the bug trophies back first.
Chapter completed!
